Why would the military keep a "compliant native" under house arrest though? Wouldn't it be better for them to get her killed?

Not if that might bring the anger of the Empire down on them in full. There's a reason even totalitarian regimes don't apply the same amount of force to all of their political enemies.

You're conflating two different things: she is a compliant native for the British, not for the military. She was always a thorn in their sides.
As for your murderous suggestion, that reveals more about your thought process than any thing else.
